We’re just two days out from the July East Bay Bike Party. And now, the ride route has been finalized! It looks like this:

Don’t worry about the ‘mountains’ on the map. They just mark off the party stops (with a Tour de France flair). The route is flat. Very, very flat. For a zoomable version of the map above (including altitude gain info), click the map image or visit the MapMyRide page.

Last month we had a car vs. bike (thankfully, no one was seriously injured), so it’s a good reminder that lights are the law and important for your safety. Cars seeing you is way better than cars not seeing you (nighttime = darkness). When you rely on staying near people with lights for protection, if you end up away from the pack (which no one plans, but it happens), then things get unnecessarily interesting. We also strongly recommend helmets.

A reminder of how we ride:

Stay Right

Stop At Lights

Ride Straight

Don’t Hate

Pack Your Trash

Don’t Get Smashed

Turn-by-turns for the route are at the bottom of this post. See you this Friday!
